A report indicated that "Trainspotting" has been adapted from Scottish novelist Irvine Welsh. Director Danny Boyle shared that right after published his novel titled "Porno," the team wanted to adapt it as a sequel to "Trainspotting" ten years ago. Boyle noted that they did not do the sequel for "Trainspotting" then since it was not good enough. He added that there were not enough reasons for the film to return to the characters. Apparently, this time is the right time for the sequel to return.

"T2: Trainspotting" is hinted to follow the events from the original film. It can be recalled that the original film ended badly for the characters. They are all scattered in Europe and are looking for their place in society. As each of them live their lives, a circumstance will eventually bring them back together.
